JUICY QUOTES
"No-follow links is a bit of HTML code that you add into your link that is going outbound to a brand, boutique, product or service. If you are getting paid to write about said brand or service or product or whatever, if it's in money or product compensation, you need to be no-following these links. That tells Google that you either a) don't trust the source or you've been paid. One of the two." Taylor Bradford

"If you are being paid to talk about a brand or service, your links going to that brand or service have to be no-follow links." Taylor Bradford

"Some people will say, oh well it's just Google. But, Hello! It's GOOGLE! Google runs the internet. If you blog, you are on the internet. And you do not want to piss off the Google gods...EVER!" Jennifer Salter

"It's going to hurt your brand and their brand simultaneously if you don't follow these rules." Taylor Bradford

"When it comes to this kind of stuff, go to the source." Jennifer Salter

"Ignorance is not bliss." Taylor Bradford

"Start doing your research on how to go about doing these things the right way." Taylor Bradford

"Do your own research and know 100%. Even in the articles that you and I have written about these kinds of subjects, we have both said we are quoting these sources, but go read these sources for yourself. Interpret them yourself. Get the knowledge in your own head so that you can stand up for your own brand." Jennifer Salter

"At the end of the day, no one else is representing you." Taylor Bradford

"If you are an Amazon Associate, you cannot send out affiliate links through an RSS Feed or a newsletter." Taylor Bradford
